Citation history
Health deficiencies cited at The Sharon At Southpark during CMS and state inspections, most recent first.
A resident with severe cognitive impairment was transferred to the hospital without being informed of the bed hold policy. The facility failed to document communication of the policy to the resident's representative, leading to confusion about the resident's return. Staff interviews revealed a lack of familiarity and documentation regarding the bed hold policy.
A resident with severe cognitive impairment was not permitted to return to the facility after hospitalization, despite available beds. The facility cited a lack of beds, but the census indicated otherwise. The resident's representative attempted to secure a return, but the facility did not respond, leading to the resident remaining in the hospital under hospice care until passing away.
A facility failed to include high-risk medications in a resident's care plan. The resident, with conditions like atrial fibrillation and congestive heart failure, was on Rivaroxaban and Furosemide. Despite receiving these medications, the care plan lacked entries for them. The MDS Coordinator did not see the need for a care plan unless lab monitoring was required, while the DON and Administrator expected high-risk medications to be included.
A resident with multiple health conditions was given incorrect medications on two occasions due to agency nurses failing to properly identify her. The errors occurred because the nurses did not receive adequate orientation or training before their shifts, leading to the administration of medications not prescribed to the resident.
A resident received incorrect medications on two occasions due to inadequate orientation and education of two agency nurses. One nurse administered a different dose of Metoprolol, and another gave Apixaban, which was not prescribed to the resident. The facility's education records lacked dates, raising concerns about the timeliness of the training.
A resident with multiple health conditions received incorrect medications on two occasions due to errors by agency nurses unfamiliar with the facility. The first error involved administering a higher dose of Metoprolol, and the second involved giving Apixaban in addition to the resident's prescribed Rivaroxaban. The errors were attributed to a lack of orientation and training for the agency nurses.
Failure to Notify Resident of Bed Hold Policy
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to notify a resident and their representative about the bed hold policy when the resident was transferred to the hospital. The resident, who had severe cognitive impairment, was admitted to the facility and later transferred to the hospital. There was no documentation in the electronic medical record indicating that the bed hold policy was communicated to the resident or their representative at the time of transfer. The resident's representative confirmed that they were informed of the hospital transfer but not about the bed hold policy. Interviews with facility staff revealed a lack of communication and documentation regarding the bed hold policy. Nurse #4, who was on duty during the transfer, did not include the bed hold policy in the transfer paperwork and was unfamiliar with the form. The Social Service Coordinator did not recall communicating with the resident's representative about the bed hold policy. The Social Service Manager claimed to have contacted the representative and emailed the policy, but there was no documentation to support this claim. The Administrator stated that the bed hold policy should have been reviewed with the resident or representative upon admission and during hospital transfers.
Failure to Permit Resident Return After Hospitalization
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to permit a resident to return after hospitalization, despite available beds, leading to a deficiency. Resident #13, who had severe cognitive impairment, was admitted to the facility and later transferred to the hospital following an unwitnessed fall and a change in vital signs. The resident's representative (RR) was informed of the transfer and later requested the resident's return to the facility after hospital discharge. However, the facility did not allow the resident to return, citing a lack of available beds, despite the facility census indicating otherwise. The Social Service Coordinator communicated with the RR, stating that no bed was available, although the facility census showed multiple available beds. The Social Service Manager and the Administrator acknowledged that the resident should have been allowed to return to the first available bed, but this did not occur. The RR attempted to secure a bed for the resident's return, but the facility did not respond to her inquiries, and the resident remained in the hospital. The Hospital Case Manager confirmed that the facility declined the resident's return, and the RR was dissatisfied with alternative placement options. Consequently, the resident remained in the hospital under hospice care and passed away. The facility's failure to permit the resident's return, despite available beds, and lack of communication with the RR contributed to the deficiency.
Failure to Include High-Risk Medications in Care Plan
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to develop personalized comprehensive care plans for a resident receiving diuretic and anticoagulation therapy. The resident was admitted with diagnoses including atrial fibrillation, edema, urinary retention, and congestive heart failure. Despite having physician orders for Rivaroxaban and Furosemide, and receiving these medications as per the Medication Administration Record, the resident's care plan did not include these high-risk medications. Interviews with the MDS Coordinator and the Director of Nursing revealed differing views on the necessity of including these medications in the care plan. The MDS Coordinator believed that since the interventions were listed in the medication order, a care plan was unnecessary unless lab monitoring was required. However, the Director of Nursing considered these medications high-risk and expected them to be included in the care plan. The Administrator also expected care plans to be complete and accurate, including high-risk medications, to ensure the best care for residents.
Medication Administration Errors Involving Agency Nurses
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure the correct medications were administered to the correct resident on two separate occasions. A resident with a history of atrial fibrillation, cardiac murmur, hyperlipidemia, congestive heart failure, hypertension, edema, and chronic kidney disease was mistakenly given medications not prescribed to her. On the first occasion, the resident received Vitamin B-12 and Acetaminophen, which were not part of her prescribed medication regimen. This error occurred because the nurse, who was an agency nurse, failed to properly identify the resident before administering the medication. On the second occasion, the same resident was given Atorvastatin and Tramadol, medications intended for another resident. This error was also attributed to a failure in resident identification by another agency nurse. The nurse was not assigned to the resident and was preparing medication for another resident when she was called into the resident's room and mistakenly administered the wrong medications. Both incidents highlight a lack of proper orientation and education for agency nurses, as neither nurse received adequate training or orientation before their shifts. The errors were reported to the Director of Nursing, Medical Director, and family members, and the resident experienced feelings of sluggishness following the administration of the incorrect medications.
Medication Administration Errors Due to Inadequate Nurse Orientation
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to provide effective orientation and education to two agency nurses, resulting in medication errors for a resident. Nurse #1 administered medications prescribed to an assisted living resident to Resident #1, including a different dose of Metoprolol, which is used to treat hypertension, angina, and congestive heart failure. This occurred on two separate occasions, with the first incident involving the administration of Metoprolol at an incorrect dose, potentially affecting the resident's blood pressure and heart rate. On the following day, Nurse #2 administered Apixaban, a blood-thinning medication not prescribed to Resident #1, further compounding the medication error. The facility's documentation of education on medication administration lacked dates, making it unclear if the education was conducted following these errors. The Director of Nursing acknowledged the absence of dates on the education records, indicating a lapse in ensuring that the education was timely and relevant to the incidents.
Significant Medication Errors Due to Lack of Orientation
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to prevent a significant medication error involving a resident who received medications not prescribed to her on two separate occasions. The resident, who had diagnoses including Atrial fibrillation, Angina, Congestive Heart Failure, and pneumonia, was mistakenly given Metoprolol 100 mg and Apixaban 2.5 mg, neither of which were prescribed to her. The errors occurred due to agency nurses administering medications intended for another resident, with one nurse unfamiliar with the facility layout and another working extended hours without proper orientation. The first incident involved an agency nurse who, without receiving any orientation, mistakenly administered Metoprolol 100 mg to the resident, a dose significantly higher than her prescribed 12.5 mg. This error was discovered when another nurse informed the agency nurse of the mistake. The resident's vital signs were monitored following the incident, showing fluctuations in blood pressure and heart rate. The second incident occurred when another agency nurse, also without orientation, administered Apixaban 2.5 mg to the resident, who had already received her prescribed Rivaroxaban 15 mg earlier that day. Interviews with the involved nurses revealed a lack of orientation and training, contributing to the medication errors. The resident reported feeling sluggish after receiving the wrong medications but attributed her condition partly to her ongoing treatment for pneumonia and urinary retention. Despite the errors, the facility's NP and MD assessed that no harm came to the resident as a direct result of the medication errors, although the incidents were considered significant due to the potential risks involved.
